Dropped seeds in a glass of tap water. After 1 day they sank to the bottom of the glass. After 2 days they showed tap roots. By day 3 they were ready to go into floraflex plugs under a floraflex dome with the vents open on top.
By week 4 these have each been topped and are ready to be transplanted into larger pots. I germinated 10 seeds and kept the 6 fastest growing, strongest looking seedlings knowing full well that since these are regular seeds, some of those slower growing seedlings may have been females. That’s okay for my purposes. I only need one or two good females so I wanna pick the plants that seem strongest right out of the gate. With 6 remaining plants I know statistically that at least 2 or 3 will be females.
They’re moved from solo cups into 3 gallon pots at the end of week 4. Then they’re put into my 8x8 veg tent in 3 gallon disposable grow bags. They’ll spend the next month in here underneath a mixture of led lights. These spent most of their time underneath the Photonflux 465 pro. Throughout the veg period I will pinch stems, bend them, tie them down, selectively top them, etc. to shape them how I like. These Buttered Grapes plants respond extremely well to training. After about a full 8 weeks of veg I’ll transplant them into 5 gallons and move them into their final homes.
Moved them into 5 gallon pots and moved them into a strain specific 4x4 tent. Switched their feed from Jack’s 5-12-26 part A and Jack’s part B cal-nit 15-0-0 plus cal/mag to Jack’s Bloom 10-30-20 plus cal/mag. They’ll get this for 2 weeks then I’ll switch back to my slightly modified Jack’s 321 schedule for the following 2 weeks. As they stretch over the next 3 weeks I will weave them through a scrog net to offer support and allow me to keep the canopy height under control. I will also strip any branches that are too low in the canopy to receive adequate light and defoliate any fan leaves that are blocking bud-sites or preventing air flow.
4 weeks into flower. I couldn’t ask for a better plant. Buds are stacking nicely. The smell is really starting to become pronounced. There are 2 distinct phenotypes. The phenotype on the left smells grapey, and gassy. The phenotype on the right smells more floral and gassy. The overall smell in the room that blasts you in the face when you unzip the tent is a wall of musky, earthy, dankness with some gas in the background. It’s an interesting combo of smells but overall I’d say pheno 1 on the left is grape-gas and pheno 2 on the right is floral-gas.
6 weeks into flower. I’m super impressed so far. Incredible density. Good mold resistance. Lovely smell. Some beautiful colors are starting to come out. I’m stoked. Looks like this will be a very good yielder as well.
7 weeks into flower. Smells incredible. Switched to Jack’s Finish, plus Floraflex Full Tilt, plus Floraflex cal/mag. Extremely dense amazing smelling buds with beautiful trichome coverage.
Week 8 is the final flush. They’ll get 1 tsp per gallon of ph’d water for the rest of their lives. They’ll get chopped whenever the trichomes appear mostly cloudy with a little bit of amber.
